Ian Hunter: All American Alien Boy

About

Following a successful stint as the creative ringleader of glam rock forebears Mott The Hoople, Ian Hunter struck out on his own in 1975 with a self-titled solo debut album. For his second album All American Alien Boy, he surrounded himself with top-notch session players as well as some impressive rock royalty, that included everyone from journeyman drummer Aynsley Dunbar to jazz bass wizard Jaco Pastorius. The resulting album was a mixture of conventional Mott the Hoople-style rock and sonic experiments.

The album features six bonus tracks. Including alternate versions of “Letter To Britannia From The Union Jack,” “Apathy 83,” and “God (Take 1).”
